blackchat has now rebranded to frontroom.

"The front room is a conservative element of black domestic life, which is more complex and rich than the generality of the society ever realises..." - Sociologist and broadcaster Stuart Hall.

When we were growing up the frontroom was and still is a very special place where African and Caribbeans especially the Windrush generation treasured and held as a place in which we could express our social and cultural values.

The frontroom was and still is a place where we connected, entertained, talk, gathered for weddings, funerals, community discussions, conduct business meetings and rallies, parties, and so much more.

The frontroom is how African and Caribbeans came together to grow, support, and give our future generations a platform to build on as they integrated into society but also maintain who they are.

Everyone and anyone from individuals, bloggers, writers, professionals, black-owned businesses, entertainers, students, freelancers come and socialise, connect, inspire, mentor, educate, and be part of an awesome community.

So as we move forward, we welcome you to your online frontroom social network.
